High accuracy standards
The new Grand Seiko Standard, established in 1998, sets a higher standard of accuracy than the chronometer standard established by The Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres (COSC).
In addition, the Grand Seiko Special (GSS) Standard, which exceeds the new Grand Seiko Standard, is a special standard with an average accuracy of -2 to +4 seconds per day, which is a level of accuracy that takes a skilled watchmaker much longer to reach than that of a normal mechanical watch.
Grand Seiko Standard inspection test
The 9S mechanical movement must pass an independent inspection test based on strict standards over a period of 17 days.
Under a variety of conditions, including six directions of positional difference and three temperature levels, the time advance or delay (accuracy per day) is adjusted to stay within the standard values to provide high quality.
